J V) Wl suflfS Fo rewori Behold ! the wheel of Fortune slowly turns. Impelled by unseen forces, steadily — Revealing in each round the varied lots Which fall, the while we struggle c n and on ; A stately ship sets sail with oars well manned By stalwart sailors bent upon their task ; Ah, see! a group of goddesses appears. In each a symbol of the passing years : Aurora stretches forth her hand to draw Aside the curtain of the roseate dawn: And see the youthful Hebe, with her cup Of nectar, faithful to the godly powers; With martial attributes Minerva comes. Her wisdom unsurpassed in all the world. Who looks into the future, knowing all ; See Atalanta, fleet of foot, who loves But him who shall outrun her in her race. Lo ! dimmer grows the vision, till at last The Argo into harbor safely glides To cast her anchor. All is peaceful now, Because the cjuest is ended. mmisimmamimmitmiifm: - Mi f- ' ■■s ...:. ■ .. :.:;-:-- :vv;: ' Si 5 ( e : _..

Class Poem With highest hopes inspired four years ago We started on the quest that ends to-day ; And as we went along the path below, We saw above the goal of our weary way : It was the towering height of Seniordom That urged us on the narrow road to keep. For now through toils and triumphs we have come To this — the goal of truth for which all seek. We have attained the end for which we strove, We now hold dear the things that we have done : For as Minerva her silken fabrics wove With skill, that never was surpassed by one In heaven or on the mortal sphere below. So we, this class of girls, have done our best; The deeds that weVe accomplished now we know Are inspiration for our future quest. For now another vision does appear — The world is needing us, and so we now Must bid farewell to Shorter loved and dear ! O Alma Mater, source from which we draw The wisdom, that must guide us in our way Out in the struggling world to which we go. We leave thee, but to live for thee, and say Our last good-bye, thy sheltering trees below. And we, thy daughters of Class Seventeen, Ask only still in mem ' ry to be held. Though some may never here again be seen, ' Tis here forever more we all shall dwell ; Our hearts are rooted on the Hill that ' s crowned - By Shorter ' s towering self. And though it be Thy walls shall crumble, our love shall still abound For thee, O Alma Mater, still for thee. Susie Smith. 63 f- ' T ..- ' ff - li Kr— ::v2 7;:r r ; ; -- iSiKK 1 - - ' -Stl History of the Glass of 1917 X the fall of 1913 about sixty-five Freshmen, neither more nor less green than other college Freshmen, came to Shorter Hill to make things more li ely and interesting for the inmates. We soon learned, of course, that the proper thing to do was to organize a Freshman Class. With the help of our sister class, the Juniors, this was speedily accomplished, with jettie May Herrington as president. Since we were considered so very green b - the Sophs, we chose as our colors green and black, to which we have given our loyalty for four years. Our Freshman year was delight fulh tempestuous, as we fought whenever occasion presented itself with Sophs. Academv, or Seniors, and sometimes with all three classes. Our Freshman feast was, to say the least, exciting, as we had to whip half the school before we got into the Gym to our food. But tiiat made it all the more fun, as the members of the Class of ' 17 have always strenuously objected to monotony in life. One beautiful morning in the sjiring. the Seniors and Sophs decided to hoist their flag on the highest point on the Hill, namely, the historic water- tank. After great difficulty on their part tlus feat was finally accomplished. But what became of that flag? We made life miserable for the Seniors and Sophs bv getting that flag — well, somehow — hiding it. ha ing mock funerals and burnings, until it was finally presented to them, with fitting ceremonies, on Class Day. And we had some Basket-Ball ' i am tliat year, winning the championship banner, which now adorns Senior Hall. Our Freshman days sped by all too rapidly, and soon we were Sopho- mores, about thirty-five strong. With Angeline as president, we made history this year. Early in the year we acquired our Soph room, The Roost, and we did have some thrilling times there ! Our Sophomore feast was great ! Some of our enemies tried to hinder our going, but our fine president and vice-president eluded them, climbing from a third-floor window on sheets, with the aid of some of our friends of the Academy. Soon after Christm as, we decided that we hadn ' t shown the Freshmen quite as much attention as they thought they deserved : so one rainy Monday morning, about four o ' clock, we escorted the five Freshmen officers to the Gym, where they per- formed for us; in fact, we hazed them. The Discipline Committee and Dr. Van Hoose were scandalized when the Freshmen came to breakfast with green and black F ' s adorning their faces. We learned ere long that our fun with the Fre.shies was considered quite a serious offense, but, after keeping us in suspense over a month, the faculty decided to let us remain at Shorter. 54 (i r :j|i. ' ; ■ ' . ' ■ ' ' •S ■.:-s;t - ' Iliis vear we were again Basket-Ball Cliampions, and won the cup presented bv the Athletic Ass(iciation. Oin- Seniors of 1915 were our staunch allies through pleasures and troubles too, and each Senior delighted a Sophomore by pledging her her Sophomore with the Senior ring. These we gave back on Class Dav, but our ln e and lovalt - ha ' e alwavs lieen that of the Class of 1915. W ' e were indeed loath to bid good-bye to Sophomore days, and before we left decided to have a Soph letter that summer. W ' e didn ' t feel that we could ever be anything l)ut Sophomores, and. in the fall of 1915, we came back little accustomed to the name of Juniors. But this was soon changed. When we saw our fine Freshman Class, we knew that we did want to be Juniors : and, after our hard work for Thanksgiving, we were indeed full- fledged Juniors, and proud of the name. I have searched ancient source books and modern histories for reference to an absolutely cjuiet class feast at Shorter, .but I could find no reference to any that was not disco ered within a week — except our Junior feast, which we had December 4th, and no one knew of till tlie date was pul)lished in the 1916 . rgo. I must pass lightly over the last days of our Junior ) ' ear. but they were marked bv the winning of the Basket-Ball Championship b - the Junior-Senior team, by the Junior Forsyth, and, lastly, Ijy the finding of the Crook and its consequences. The Re])robates ' on the night of the Grand Concert endeared themselves to the Class of ' 17. Our Senior year now is over half gone, and we are loath to part with the classmates, who have become so dear to us through association in pleasures and quite a few troubles. The Senior Class of 1917 is not dead, but is inter- ested in societies, in Y. W. C. A., athletics, and every other phase of college life. Already the Senior Play is well under way, and Senior Hall has become a regular beauty parlor, with its manicurist, shampooer, and bootblack, in the interest of the Senior Play Fund. We have a fine Basket-Ball Team, and are hoping to complete our four years ' record as Basket-Ball Champions. We know that our Sophomores are the finest that ever have been at Shorter or anywhere. Soon we shall leave Shorter, our Alma Mater, but we shall always remember our days on Senior Hall with our call of Bob-Bob- White, and our dear old song: Senior Class is high-minded, Believe to my soul they ' re double-jinted, They can work and don ' t mind it — all day long. Veda Jacobs, ' 17, Historian. 55 . m Glass Prophecy WISH, I said as I wearily pushed my book aside, I could look ahead three years and see what my classmates are doing then. Scarcely had I uttered these words than a gentle voice whispered. I can show you the fate of your classmates three years hence. Beside me stood a little old lady, her big brown eyes smiling sweetly, as she nodded her gray head in a knowing fashion. Just step on this carpet, she directed, pointing to a rug at her feet. No sooner were we comfortably seated than the little woman snapped her fingers and out the window we floated. I had not yet recovered from my surprise when my attention was drawn to a great crowd in the streets below us. There I heard music and loud hurrahs. In the midst of the surging crowd was a long line of automobiles. In the first one, smiling and nodding graciously to the cheering multitude, stood Miss Sarah Joyce King. King! King! roared the crowd, Mayor of Rome! Yes, said the little woman, answering my look of inquiry, Miss King is an ardent suft ' ragette, and as such has become quite a celebrity. The next scene over which we tarried was a big poultry farm on the out- skirts of Bristol, Tenn. This, my companion said, was the largest and best- arranged poultry farm in the South. The owner and manager was Polly Massengill. Surrounded by a host of chickens stood Polly, scattering corn to them. Near-by was a young man who gazed longingly at her. As for Polly — well, her brown eyes were mighty soft and tender whenever they rested on him. I was awakened from my day-dreaming by the little woman who ex- claimed, Look! Following her glance I saw a slender girl standing over the limp body of a man. In her hand she held a bloody dagger. Her features, distorted with wrath and hatred, I recognized as Shaw ' s. There, dear, soothed my companion, don ' t be alarmed. Miss Shaw is rehearsing her new picture, ' The Leopard Woman. She is the greatest vampire on the screen. Valeska and Theda can ' t compare with her. By way of contrast we next floated through the window of a large, beautiful church. Being attracted by the minister ' s voice, which sounded strangely familiar, I turned my eyes toward the pulpit, where lo ! I saw clad in a severe clerical garb Reverend Susie Smith. I wonder what Vic is doing? I asked my little friend. Without answer- ing she directed her course far across the country until at length we arrived at a school building. As light as a feather the carpet floated through the window 56 •I •- - i: r- 55tg= - and sank at (ine of the desks. Looking around I saw that we were in the primary room. The teacher of tlie Httle folks was Vic. It was quite evident that they had learned the first lesson, Love your teacher. Several hours later we floated into an immense auditorium which was packed with people who had come to hear the famous reader, Miss Ocie Johnson, who was completing lier tliird tour of America liefore going abroad for a tour of Europe. Witli a knowing smile my dear little friend steered the carpet to Fort McPherson. Pausing in midair by a window of one of the I:ouses I saw a young woman seated at the piano playing Love ' s Old Sweet Song. Stand- ing near-by with his back to me was a young man whom I did not recognize until he caught the girl in his arms, kissed her gently, and said, Dearest, you make me so happy. Then we saileil away, but not too soon to know that with Vivian and Lieutenant Boughton life is bliss. Aroused from my thoughts of the young couple whose joy I had wit- nessed I disccnered that we were seated in Tulane Theater, New Orleans. My curiosity as to why we were there was gratified when the curtain went up. Out on the stage whirled a slender girl clad in a delightful creation of shim- mering white. Her dance completed, Mme. Davee, our Knapp, received encore after encore. She was the greatest dancer the world ever produced. Pavlowa in her prime was not equal to her. With incredible speed we went to the McAlpin Hotel, New York, where Mildred and Lillian Lovvorn had rented an apartment. They were not at home, however, but were down in the slums doing deeds of love and charity. Next we stopped at a refomi school. As we drifted through the halls I saw coming down the steps a golden-haired girl with her finger lifted to her lips. Sh-h — sh-h, she breathed. It was Schmidt seeing that c|uiet and order were being observed. Leaving this scene we hurried to an army hospital, where we saw a neat little woman skilfully sewing up an ugly cut. Beside her was Martha Anne, the idol of the soldiers. The former was none other than Son Rogers, the great surgeon. At the outbreak of the war with Germany she had volunteered as an army surgeon and since that time had saved many lives by her valuable service. Se ' eral hours later, night ha ing come on, we were slowly floating through the streets of Chicago. In one of the dark alleys of the slum district, I spied a woman darting stealthily from shadow to shadow. That, ex- plained my companion, is Rosa Hammond, the clever and daring partner of Hawkshaw. At present she is training Slippery Jim, leader of the shrewdest gang of thieves in the state. Passing on to the more thickly ])opulated section of the city, I saw in an apartment house Veda, who was sitting at her desk busily writing away. 57 IJ ' -■■ ■. i ' ? ' - ' iSs ii - = ■ 11 She, so my companiun told inc. was tlie most successful pla}- broker iu America. . s 1 glanced about tbe room I saw on her desk in a gold frame a likeness of Eleanor Wilcox. Could it be her insi iration ? In the apartment below was Louise Knight, one of the most famous judges of art objects in the world. Her genius in arranging l)ig art collectiims w ' hich were for sale had given her a uni(|ue place in the auction held. Later I looked in at a party of young people. There in a cozy corner sat Treena Coram surrounded by a grou)) of young men. Treena was equal to the situation. To this adoring youth she smiled charmingly, at that admir- ing one she shook her finger playfully, to this one she spoke softly and winked slyly, to that pleading one her eyes sent sw eet messages. Could it be that this belle of tiie party, this coquette, this heart smasher was Treena? Yes, it was she. In Africa, where we next wandered, I saw Blount directing the natives in a Grecian dance. Naturally I thought she had gi en up her purpose of being a missionar -. 1jut m - companion assured me that she had not. Accord- ing to the instructions of Miss Latimer, Blount believed that the ?esthetic and spirtual nature should go hand in hand. Hence the dancing lessons. Hurrying I ack to Uncle Sam we tra eled to Rome, Ga., and paused at a charming bungalow. Peering in at the w indow I was again reminded that married life was bliss. This time the ha])py couple were Georgia Belle and Henry Hammond. I once heard her remark that she wanted to call Dr. Hammond Daddy Hammond. Would that we could all have our wishes so ideally gratified ! In this same city I saw standing on Broad Street a little band of the Salvation Army. Drawing nearer I recognized the earnest speaker as Ruth Warters. Standing close by, also dressed in black and wearing the quaint little bonnet, was Ethel Wilkerson. Traveling to Marietta we went to the home of Glennis. There in the little room called her studio I saw her at work. She had become a composer of both music and verse. Everywhere there was great demand for her pieces. Her latest hit was a soft, haunting melody entitled, Angeline, My Angeline. And what is ' Sweet Pea ' Shuford doing these days? I wanted to know. Why, answered my companion, she went in for the movies, and, of course not only made good as Charlie Chaplin ' s leading lady, but has become a ro aring success. In our w andering we had again hit upon New York. As we were pass- ing over the business section of the city my companion called my attention to a niftily-dressed woman whom I recognized as Gladys Carter. She, so my companion related to me, was the cleverest and best-paid reporter on The Sun. She also wrote independent of The Sun. The works which brought her greatest recognition in the literary world were those show-ing her to be a man 58 1 ■ ' i T ,a w-.-fe s ■ ■ ■•••-■•• •. I  ?• . 3v.fJA ; vv x «s« js-v hater. Man liater, iiuleed ! ' I ' liat sounds eiv well, but when it comes to the concrete, individual apijlication I am afraid it won ' t hold good in Miss Carter ' s case. On the outskirts of Alaples ille, . la., we arrived at a ))ri ate hoarding- school owned hv Miss Pinky Prim and conducted by none other than Blossom herself. Her stutlent goxernment existed in ideal form. To girls bringing automobiles with them special ])rivileges were granted. . s I entered the main Iniilding I saw Illossoiu rustle from her office and say to the maid, V ictoria. ring the bell for chapel. Then sleepily I rubbed my eyes and gazed al)out me stupidlx-. Instead of traveli-ng on the magic car])et with tiie dear little woman 1 found that I was here at Shorter in our study, and light bell was ringing. Yes, what I ha e told you was, as you doubtless have guessed, a dream. Whether or not it will come true remains to be seen. Only a dream, in some parts foolish, inconsistent, and unlikel} ' . Yet I shall always treasure its every detail, because it is of you, my classmates, whom I love so well. Catharine Foxworth.

A. this past year has been to make the organization an effective agency in the bringing in of the Kingdom of God among yoimg women. It has en- deavored to give a richer, fuller, and more abundant life to each girl at Shorter. It has taught a practical religion put into practical use. and one of the first evidences was the adoption of Flora Dean Harbin, a little orphan at the Baptist Home, Hopeville, Ga. The Y. W. C. A. has adopted the Departmental Plan, which provides for nine members, including the president, on the Cabinet. These girls will in turn have sub-committees, and hence more members will be engaged in active work. During the month of November, a Shorter Sunday School was organized, with Pro- fessor . rnett as superintendent. The entire student body has taken unusual interest in the work, and it has added to the religious life of the college. Early in the scholastic year the Y. W. C. A. entertained the entire college community with a picnic at Maplehurst, and later on gave a reception in the college sitting-rooms and parlors. One of the greatest events of the year was the week-end Cabinet Training Convention. which was held on March 23d-25th. The new cabinet from Agnes Scott, Hrenau, G. . and 1. C, and Wesleyan, together with Miss Young and several of the field officers, met with Shorter, and the new officers were traine l for the work of the coming year. Withal, this has been an unusually successful year. In many ways God has blessed this work. May His Spirit ever so abide with the organization that each step taken will show His divine guidance and the greatness of His Spirit. mXM 83 si ' ..M ' CJ „ ,.

The programs this year have been unusually interesting, as well as instructive. We have studied The American Drama, feeling that this subject is too little emphasized. Our general plan has been to study at one meeting the life and work of a certain dramatist, and at the next meeting to present one of his plays. We liaxe studied the lives and dramatic styles of Mark Twain, Augustus Thomas, I Richard Harding Davis, Brander ' ' ' -z — — - Matthews, William Vaughn Moody, (f} — tiiiiii , j] others. Plays by these authors have been i)resented in a most creditable manner. Our programs, however, have not all been literary, Ixit each month we lia e had one social program. Thanksg ' ix ' ing this year was given an added interest by the basket-ball game between the Polymnians and Eunomians. Both societies had good teams, but the Eunomians, with Irene Shaw as captain, were victors!! Also in the intersociety spelling-match, which was held in February, the Eunomians won out, Blanche Williams being the champion speller. Now, we are looking forward to our annual debate with the Polymnians. With two such able debaters as Alma Osborne and Vivian Goolsby we feel confident that we will retain possession of the Hogan Debate Cup, which has already worn the Green and Green for three vears. . -■ -S. ... -„.-. §• m:-::..

The subject for debate tliis year was Rcsoh ' cd, That the United States Pursued the Right Policy in Refusing to Intervene When Belgium Neutrality Was Violated. The Eunomians were represented on the affirma- tive by Alma Osborne, of Columbus, Georgia, and Vivian Goolsby, of Holly- wood, Alabama : the Polymnians on the negative by Mary Kline Shipp, of Moultrie, Georgia, and Annie Blount Moseley, of Greensboro, Georgia. On the night of April 2, the Ciiapel was decorated on one side with the Polymnian colors, Red, white, and green, and on the other with the Eunomian, Green and green. Although there was tliis year no lack of society spirit, this was one of the most dignified debates ever held at Shorter. All four of the speeches were good — but the decision was rendered in favor of the affirma- tive! Again the Eunomians win the Hogan Debate Cup! Hurrah for Vivian and Alma ! Hurrah for the Green and Green ! 89 -s|W S fe - ' ::: K:;rp ===f0::::z:::.;- .- •■■ •■.. .j n n HIS year has been an unusually interesting one for the Polymnians. We ha ' e combined pleasure and study in such an attractive way that our programs have been very popular. We have spent our time studying the history of our country from the time Columbus made his appeal to h ' erdinand and Isabella to the present day. Our study began with a cle -er play, Columbus at the Court of Spain. Then, with the aid of our beautiful lake, we were present at the Landing of Columbus, and saw him plant the Spanish flag on American soil. The Indian period with its contribution, the Revolutionary and Colonial periods, and the Civil War years were all studied carefully and in detail. But even though we have learned a great deal aliout our country and its development, our programs have not been too literary to be enjoyed. We ha e had frequent socials, and the programs have been varied by musical numbers. 90 ;;iA-,J? ■--•• ' % i -- iiiiic Polymnian Literary Society Colors : Red, White, and Green Flower : Red Carnation Publication : Tlic Chinics of Shorter So.vG : My Mammy Told Me OFFICERS AXXEVIC GREENE President PAULINE MASSENGILL Vice-President FRANCES SCHMIDT Secretary MARGARET DAVISON Treasurer SUSIE EARNEST Assistant Treasurer debaters Annie Blount Moseley Mary Kline Shipp 91 GimmiSiBISm Vj ' _ ammmmmmmmmmm mmm mmmmtmammmmm Polymnian Society Roll Adams, Aliene Adams, Agnes Allen, ?Iughie Allen, Lois Allen, Mildred Alford, Elizabeth Anderpon, Mary Brown Ashford, Helen Barber, Myrtle Be ' ll, Lucile Boyd, Louise Brewster, Laura Belle Bkewton, Edna Lee Brown, Elsie Brown, Lucile Burns, Reba Carlton, Gertrude Cartwright.

We Ijelieve that they are good for us — for our classes — for our college. We want straight, clean, strong, physical selves that shall be the servants of straight, clean, strong minds and spirits ; we want to play the game. There is an honor in games that is the fine gold of them : tliat reckons with every girl justly, that loves light, that regards kindness and fairness more highly than a victory trophy. It is more becoming to a girl than an arm band or a sweater S. It speaks for her in tlie heart of every one. Her friendships are serene and secure. Her strength is like a young tree beside a river. We want the Shorter girl to be a bigger, better girl — and to keep growing bigger and better — and then best.

Therefore baseball. The season opened with the faculty game, a more serious matter than at first appeared, in which the Bulldogs won from the Nifty-Nines by one run. But the interclass series were the real thrill — with real pitchers, too — Shaw throwing curves for the Seniors, Fox catching back of the bat, and all the other Invalids racing home — Miss Bessie and Bill for the Juniors, with Baby Mildred shooting sky- rockets ; E. Wood for the Sophomores, and M. D. ; also B. Williams and M. A. McLendon ; Emmie, Lydia, and H. Carr twirling for the Freshmen, while the two little Nichols play the game for themselves and everybody else. We have never been more excited !

At last in Egypt! — the land of mystery, superstition, and vastness, infinitesimal beauty. Quite civilized, indeed. (Puts dozvn umbrella, polishes glasses, examines different objects. ) According to the Sears-Roebuck edition of the Jones encyclopedia of the archeozoic era, this was the garden spot of the world, and, bless me. if it doesn ' t still retain its transcendent splendor. Ah! Ah! I can now expand my diafram with the greatest felicitous enjoyment. It ' s the first stage I ' ve been rid of those girls since we set sail from New York.

I really can not seem to just exactly understand. They ' ve simply turned the tables, I ' m at their command. How they keep me on the run Till it really isn ' t fun. Thank heaven it ' s for a while that I am free. Prof, {coiitiniics speaking): Chaperoning is all very nice, but, for my part, I choose scientific e.xuberation. {Sees large palm.) Ah! I wonder what species this magnificent shrublet is? Ah! I believe it is bacciferous! ! {Shozvs great delight, reads scientific notes from pocket notebook.) I find this shrub to be the Heleniuni tenui folium, better known in America as Anthemis Cotula. It is a papilionaceous form. Its zonation depends upon the prevalent ecological factor of its habitat. (Closes notebook, adjusts clothes, and gaces around.) Oh, the blessedness of solitude! Nature clothed in all her majesty, and almost in sight of the pyramids too. ( Takes map from pocket and traces zvith pencil the position of the pyramids from Ge::a.) We are exactly 36° 30 ' 16 lon gitude, torrid zone. Ah! Geza! here it is — on the Nile — only a short distance from the pyramids. We must visit the tomb of Cheops. We must also rex ' iew tliem internally and externally. Now, according to the Sears-Roebuck edition of the Jones encyclopedia, the great ])yramid is in the Geza group and covers thirteen acres — why, my father ' s plantation is almost as large as that!

(Virginia shrinks and tnnis away — all crowd around eager for a look. ) Isabel (from the East) : O Rene, you always hunt for the ludicrous — now this is really a piece of art — why, that couldn ' t possibly be the tooth of Rameses II. You ' re too credulous. Now, when I bought this vase I saw a picture of the tomb from which it was excavated. Look at the wonderful Ijlendings of these colors — now that blue and green — that touch of yellow ( in explanation ).

It ' s a shame, Rob, that this lovely bit of romance had to end where it did, just because of Uiat wilful old uncle of yours who beat her father in the race for the governorship of Virginia.

Judith : Some title that, but I must tell you what you are to do; you ' re to be our guide up the pyramids and have as your special charge Rene. Rob: Which one is she — the blonde?

I wonder why Professor thinks that Kaleh isn ' t Rob, But don ' t nobody know but me an ' you? I wonder why the pyramids are square instead of round? I wonder how come peaches don ' t grow here? But evidently, Postuni, tliere ' s a reason for it all: Yes, there ' s a reason — gee, ain ' t Nature queer ! II The other day when Judy and Rob ' s plotting They didn ' t know I ' s anywheres about, But jest the same I ' s hid And heard their plans — I did ; I pretended if they didn ' t pay I ' d let it out! — Cho. Billy (talking to dog): Well, Postum, what d ' you think? We ' ve got ' em on our hands fer goodness knows how long. But we don ' t care, do we? We ' re gettin ' so rich ! You know that little secret I heard before cost Judv an ' Rob exactly fifty cents apiece. Aw, Postum, you don ' t look like you understand ! You ' member that time when they was framin ' up on Virginia. But don ' t nobody know I told the other one an ' it ' s more fun. I like to tell you things ' cause I know you ain ' t goin ' ter tell, so we have a feller feelin ' . (Spontoiicoiisly) But don ' t we like Tony? I told Judy he was a dead-game sport, Iiut she wouldn ' t belie -e me. (His speech is interrupted b the entrance of the Professor, n ' ho is escaping from a boring bridge game.) Prof, (as he comes on stage) : I didn ' t know bridge had permeated as far as Egypt. These female fanatics! I would choose flinch, or perhaps a rousing game of authors — something to improve one ' s intellect. ( Tal es out notebook, turns leaves rapidly, uses glass.) Prof, (discovering Billy) : Why, hello, William, what have we here — another game of marbles? Billy : Yer ; come on and play er game. Uncle Tony ; you know how, don ' t you ? Prof.: If you ' ll give me last lay I ' ll play. (Billy begins to arrange marbles and gives the Professor some, and, after laying for first go, thev begin to play. Having a good time and talking.) Billy: How ' d you like the pyramids? Which uii ' did you go up? Prof. : Whew ! Very strenuous work for one so unaccustomed to such violent exercise. We climbed the Great Pyramid of Cheops. The agility of 120 y f i ' S Z i |fe.  the natives was quite remarkable, Init, not l)eing accustomed to such strenuous exercise, we grew (|uite exhausted. The Great Pyramid stripped of its granite facing is reall) ' just four great fiiglits of stairs that narrow as they ascend. But marvelous, indeed ! Bu.i.v (prickiiuj up his cars) : Huh? What ' s that did you say? What kinder camel did you ritle? You slio ' is er funny-lookin man on a camel. I bet ou ' bout fell off, now didn ' t you? Who had to lug Miss Rene up? I bet she puffed like a steam engine ! Prof. : Wait — w ait. Billy, one at a time and I ' ll attempt to allay your curiosity ! Riding a camel is the queerest sensation I ever had, but quite a novel one. Yes, we did have to take the climb slowly for Miss Rene. That poor guide, how attentive he was to her ! Nice young fellow for a nati e though. BiLLV ( i ii lcs k]io-n ' iii[ ly ) : Nati -e ! Sa ' , ' Fessor Tony, did you sho ' nuff think he was a native? Prof. : Why, certainly, aren ' t all the guides natives? Billy: All the rest of ' em might be, but this iiii ' ain ' t. Honest injun, didn ' t you know vvho he was ? Prof. : Why, no! I heard Miss Judith call him Kaleb. Billy: Oh, that ' s right, his name is Kaleb, I jest forgcn. (Aside to oudiciicc) I nearly lost ni}- fifty cents there. Gee (changing subject hur- riedly), ' Fes.sor, I heard sumthin ' awful nice about you. But what makes you talk so prissy ? I jest ' most every time have to laugh when I hear you, ' cause I don ' t know what you are talkin ' bout! Prof. : Me talk funny? How do you account for that? Billy : Well, the other day me and Postum was jest playin ' , and I heard the girls talkin ' ' boutcha, and Prof. ( very surprised ) : The )oung ladies using uie for a topic of con- versation ? Billy: They jest said (iuiitatiug Rene), That old prune! if he would ever climb down off his dignity — [speaking like Virginia), Oh, he is too impossible, and Judy didn ' t say nothin ' but that you ' d be awful nice lookin if you ' d comb your forelocks different and throw them turtle specks away — and ne er wear that i)reacher coat again. Prof.: Indeed! Why, I didn ' t realize I was unusual. What else did they say? Oh, yes, the forelocks, the coat, and the glasses. (Enter luiiive zi ' ho looks at Billy and bozi ' s.

I believe vou ' re in love. I think Fll fall for some one of these natives — an imported husband I Wouldn ' t the old folks at home prick up their ears when I came in — a titled lady from Egypt? Now, that guide isn ' t a bad one to begin on Virginia (interrupting) : O Rene, how could you, dear — a native Egyptian for a husband ? Rene (yawns) : Oh, well, lie ' s better than none at all. I guess. Your aristocratic ideas will get you into trouble yet. And besides Fm so sleepy I can ' t say an intelligent word. It ' s the climate, my child, the climate.

Love Chorus The world loves a lover and love is the world. ' Tis a story that ' s lasting and old — Not likely forgotten when once it is had — From earliest times has heen told !

True joy in loving is found in tliis way, Forever and e ' er are blithe hearts and gay. When true love is found Life seems but a day. Happiness lasting for aye ! Virginia (cncakening) : What w that tune I ' m humming? Why, that ' s part of my dream, such a peculiar tune! I ' ll confess, since Rob and I had our misunderstanding I hazr had a good time: yes, good time is right, if flowers, candy, dances, and shows are called a good time, I ' ve had my share. But, somehow, through it all I can ' t seem to be able to forget Rob. Father zi as a little harsh and I was just so foolish I agreed with him — if they only didn ' t have go ernors? It causes such a lot of trouble and heartache. It ' s strange that this native makes me think of Rob, perhaps I have been thinking of him too much lately, but I zvould like to see him. ( Gradually it becomes dusk and i)i the distance is heard the chant of the native Sun Worshipers, grooving nearer and nearer. They finally come on stage and Virginia zmtches them from one side.) Song of the Worshipers Homage to Thee, O Ra ! When Thou risest Thou art adored ! Thy beauties are before mine eyes, When Thy radiance fallest upon my body. The stars sing hymns of praise unto Thee!

Crump lives up to her characteristic picture quite royally — but for her diet of zwieback and coffee she couldn ' t exist, positively !

You are keeping something from me! We surely are! But we all see They couldn ' t keep it long. When the Juniors fell, they hit it hard; ' Tis an honor worthy a truer bard To celebrate the Sophomores ' fame. To sing the glory of their name: To tell of loss of Juniors ' rep. And sing anew of Sophomores ' pep. Copies of this beautiful and expressive poem were printed sometime In the night and distrihuted at breakfast. No furthi ' r explanation necessary. When the Class of 1917 won from the Freshmen, with a score of 14 to 26, they won the college champion- ship in basket-ball.

The moon will rise at 6 o ' clock and the return will be de- lightfully moonlit. Y. W. C. A. CABINET TRAIN- ING CONVENTION AT SHORTER On March 23-25 the Y. W. C. A. Cabinets from Agnes Scott, Brenau, G. N. and I. C. and Wesleyan met at Shorter to be trained for work for the coming year. Miss Willie R. Young, together with several field officers, were leaders in this conven- tion, which proved a source of inter- est and inspiration to all who took part in it. The need for better trained cabinets has long been felt, and this was a glorious opportunity to receive new ideas and conceive different plans of work for the ensu- ing year. INVESTITURE SERVICE IN CHAPEL A very impressive service was held in Chapel, September 23, in which the Seniors were formally presented with caps and gowns by Dr. Van Hoose. The Sophomores came into Chapel first to the processional, Hail, Dear Old Shorter, forming two lines, one on either side of the aisle. The Seniors then proceeded to the platform. Before investing the members of the class. Dr. Van Hoose gave a most interesting and significant talk on the meaning of the cap and gown. He further ex- plained the seriousness and responsi- bility that rested not only on the president of the class, but each m em- ber as well. After the investiture service, the recessional was Alma Mater, in which every one joined with a feeling of loyalty and great love for our beloved Shorter. 188 THE A X AC H RON 1ST GREAT DEBATE Momentous Question Settled The Green Bill passed Society on Saturday, November 18, 1916, after a most heated and exciting discussion, with a unanimous majority. This bill, beyond all dispute, affects the Society of Invertebrates more than any change excepting the flood. There was almost conclusive proof on both sides of this momentous question. What can be more mo- mentous and profound than that which involves all problems and ob- stacles found from pole to pole? It was feared that no decision would ever be reached. Realizing how many feathery friends of ours were anxiously awaiting results, it was decided to select six of the most able-minded persons on the floor to debate the question. Enthusiasm and excitement went hig h. Geometrical and social problems became involved. Serious thought followed. When it came to a vote, it was unanimously decreed that all chickens shall for- ever roost on square instead of round poles. HORRORS AT SHORTER Hallowe ' en was celebrated by a barbecue given by Dr. Van Hoose at Maplehurst to the Rotarians of Rome, the trustees, the faculty and the students of Shorter. After the barbecue the Seniors, who were host- esses for the evening, appeared in ghost and witch costumes and the fun began. Booths draped in black and white were dotted over the lawn — and the horrors that awaited those who were brave enough to enter ! The Death Chamber, The Dare- Devil Room, The Disappointed-in- Love Booth and all the others were experiences long to be remembered. Many voted it the happiest Hallow- e ' en ever. The man who wrote the touching lines, Come into the garden, love, was a great futurist. Else how did he know that the price of vegetables was going up? SENIORS CAN COOK AGAIN Heated Discussion of Privilege Brought to ' Victorious End After a long and hard-fought de- bate as to whether or not Seniors could cook in their rooms at any time, this question was finally de- cided in the afiirmative, by vote of the faculty. This enterprising class of ' 17 had long enjoyed the privilege of cooking at its own discretion. A death blow was dealt, however, when Dr. Van Hoose withdrew this privi- lege at the beginning of the year. Petitions were sent in and as promptly vetoed. Committees turned sadly away after fruitless consulta- tion. This long-sought-for pleasure seemed just out of reach ; every ef- fort was seemingly in vain. At meet- ing after meeting of the faculty the question was touched upon, but not settled. Finally, on the night of Jan- uary 23, after a very hot discussion, pro and con, the privilege was again extended by practically unanimous vote. o THRILLING SATURDAY NIGHTS The Saturday evenings at Shorter have been made more interesting by the various picture shows which the different clubs and organizations have had. These picture shows are shown in the chapel at eight o ' clock and, as they must pass the College Board of Censors, they are always good. Among those shown during the year have been : Ragamuffin, Old Heidelberg, The Golden Chance. David Crockett. The Masked Rider, The House of the Golden Windows, Going Straight. The Comeback, Wildflower. The Dark Silence. ARE YOU A GALT— OWSKIAX? If Xot, Why Not? The Shot of Quality 10 Cents Per Pair for a Shoe Shine No Extra Charge for Large Feet Senior Hall. S ' 4 WANTED!

His death was not wholly unexpected, but was. nevertheless, a great shock. There was much weep- ing and gnashing of teeth — our sor- row was intense and many remarked that they couldn ' t possibly live with- out darUng Jim. But our hearts were gladdened after a few days of grieving when we found that James had not died but was only observing Lent! THANKSGIVING CELE- BRATION The Juniors made Thanksgiving one of the most enjoyable days at Shorter. The dining-room was decorated with stalks of corn, pine branches, autumn leaves, and baskets of fruit. In the center of each table was a large pumpkin filled with fruit. The class represented the Pilgrim Fathers observing the first Thanksgiving in .America Toasts were given, and an appro- priate dinner was served. THE AN ACH RON 1ST 189 WASHINGTON ' S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED Dining-Room and Chapel Scenes of Joyous Occasion The Freshman Class was hostess to the entire college community on February 22 at an appropriate George Washington celebration. The girls of the Senior Class of Rome High School were among the honored guests. At six o ' clock all eagerly gathered in the dining-room, which was tastefully decorated in flags, cherries, red, white and blue gar- lands. The windows were draped in blue and black — the colors of the Class of 1920. After all the guests had assembled the Freshmen came marching in, dressed in colonial costume. Every one joined in singing The Star- Spangled Banner. A very delight- ful dinner was served, during which toasts were given to the Father of Our Country, to Shorter, to Dr. Van Hoose, to the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Each member of their sister-class — the Juniors — was pre- sented with a red, white and blue hat. Music was furnished during the en- tire time by Nixon ' s orchestra. PRESENT. TIO.V OF W. SHINGTOn ' s LIFE Following the dinner was a play given in the chapel, presenting the interesting incidents of Washington ' s life. Among the stars of the evening were little Miss Frances Marion Gaines as George at the age of six ; Miss Zeta White as George when he cut down his father ' s cherry tree ; Miss Lydia Dixon as Washington when he met, wooed and won Mrs. Custis; Miss Ryllis Green as Mrs. Martha Custis. PATRIOTISM Patriotism? Do we have it at Shorter? Well, I guess! If you could see the call to arms notice on the bulletin-board— Drill at 6:30 every morning on the college green. Bring your broomsticks. Those fail- ing to appear will be shot on the grounds of desertion — you would readily believe that we are loyal to the old U. S. A. and our fine Presi- dent. Newspapers are grabbed the minute they reach the hill — all eager for the latest news of the great world conflict and our President ' s moves. 190 THE ANACHRONIST SOPH STUNT One of the cleverest stunts ever seen at Shorter was given by the Sophomores on November 11th. It was crowded with local color and burlesques, and when the curtain went down for the last time it was difficult to say just which number was the best. It was all splendid, and remarks like the following were heard as the girls left the chapel that night : Wonder how on earth they did it? or Best thing I ' ve seen on Shorter Hill. The following program was given : SONG Robinson Crusoe ..Chorus PLAY When Susi.ana Went to College ACT I Scene I — Susiana arrives. Scene II — Susiana is rushed. Scene III — Susiana is pledged.

This is evidenced by the extra early visit he paid them on Monday night, December 18. Even those Seniors afflicted with noctur- nalism had been asleep several mo- ments when he began his rounds. Santa had just crept stealthily inside the last room with his pack when a squeaky shoe betrayed his presents. Who ' s there? asked a sleepy voice. S-sh. be quiet, it ' s just Santa Claus, said the dear old fellow. He was then given a cordial welcome and told to make himself at home. This Santa did. and in lieu of his enjoy- ment shot a firecracker in the hall before his departure from Senior Heights. A hearty welcome awaits his next annual visit to this hall. the arms of some long-suffering friend. She eats as if she had never had anj ' thing to eat before. Her good morning is between a grunt and a growl. She is sweetly amiable — when she has her own way. Some gentleman of Rome com- mented most favorably on the ease, grace, and dignity of one of the Shorter girls. She saves her sweetest smiles and kindest words for those she likes. We all have good-looking clothes, but hate to hear others brag. Why do some of the girls take ad- vantage of the young men teachers? She airs her grievances at the table. She is the original water-tank, why doesn ' t she sit by the pitcher? Polly M. (fighting mosquitoes) : Say, this is why girls leave home.

C, by Augustus Cesar Hard-Up Members of Antiquated Press U. Catchem Editor-in-Chief I. Cheatham Business Manager Don ' t be bashful about your pug- nose. Something will always turn up. It is marvelous how a dish of common grits can be remodeled into a dressed-up affair. Every little girl should have a little box of Zwieback so she won ' t have to rob somebody else. . ' re you a member of the Bone- head Anti-Trusts? Every kicker should be given a shock-absorber and not a self- starter, and told to take his foot oft the accelerator. o It is natural that you should ask why we call this, the best newspaper in Rome, the Anachronist. All I ask is that you go back with me a few centuries and consider the great possibilities of a thriving newspaper in Rome in 39 B. C. Did they read it with the anxious interest we pe- ruse it to-day ? Did they believe the pen was mightier than the sword? Did they stand on their porches in the early morning eagerly awaiting the approach of the little newsboy with his canvas bag? Just think what these people missed ! Well, they missed lots, we ' ll tell you that. Try to imagine what miserable lives they must have led ! And do you realize what we are giving youf . ' ctually a newspaper, a good one, too (we hand it to ourselves), and edited by Julius Cxsar Hard-Up and his worthy associates. Now, answer me truly : did they have a newspaper in 39 B. C? THE LATEST PEACE NOTE While the world was applauding President Wilson for his note to the Central Powers and to the Allies, heavy war clouds were hanging over Shorter Hill. The higher authorities were on the offensive, while the Seniors were making preparations for an ultimatum. This class had used all peaceful methods ever sug- gested by our country to obtain the much-desired privilege to cook at all hours of the day or night. They wrote notes and petitions, they sent their Fords and Houses to the Stu- dent Council and the President. Nothing but vetoes came in reply. The honor of this high-minded class could bear no more. The final word was being prepared when that peace note granting the longed-for privi- lege was received. It is generally conceded that the Class of ' 17 won a great diplomatic victory. So it is only through patience and perseverance, my readers, that you win. All things come to those that wait. o ANNOUNCEMENTS Meeting of full faculty at 7 p. xr A. W. Van Hoose.

The visitors arrived promptly at eight, and were given beautifully hand- painted promenade cards, with the dates already made. Punch was served all during the evening. After the dates, yellow and white cream, with macaroons, was served. Beautiful Gowns WoR f Many beautiful evening creations were displayed. Among them ; Miss Annevic Greene appeared in dainty white net, with satin trimmings ; Miss Veda Jacobs in soft, flesh georgette crepe over satin ; Miss Martha Gait in salmon taffeta and silk lace; Miss Pauline Massengill wore striped taffeta combined with satin and tulle, with gold and silver trimmings ; Miss Sarah Joyce King in black lace and turquoise-blue satin; Miss Frances Schmidt in white charmeuse ; Miss Margaret Davison in white crepe de chine, with rosebud trimming; Miss Kathreen Coram in green crepe meteor; Miss Bess McWilliams in pink taffeta and silver lace ; and Miss Martha Green in embroidered organdy over blue taffeta. BE PATRIOTIC! Enlist as a Cross Red Nurse. FACULTY PARTY Given in Honor of New Faculty Members — Miss Mary Mac- Dougall the Charming Hostess Miss MacDougall. wishing to ex- tend a hearty welcome to the new members of the faculty, conceived the idea of giving them a party. .Accordingly. with characteristic energy she issued the invitations and made ready for the fun. The night of October the fifteenth saw the Eunomian Hall crowded with faculty members, both old and new. Every one was delightfully informal, laughing and chatting gaily. New F. ' cultv Members Examined BY Old Ones — Severe Test In order to test the ability of the new teachers, it was decided that they should be quizzed by the others. Give me, sir, said the Dean, the imperfect tense of amo. Expanding his chest and smiling brightly. Dr. Quisenberry proudly replied : There has been no im- perfect tense with me. Here his smile changed into a sigh as he rather dubiously added : So far. Miss Latimer, the next one up for examination, was tested by Mr. Arnett. Assuming a very serious expression. the latter inquired : What is the relation between neu- rones and cyclones? Quick as a flash came the answer : A brain storm. And now, probed Mr. Arnett, a merry twinkle in his eyes, explain the apperceptive basis of your inter- est in a certain grey roadster. Flushing a telltale pink, she answered : A certain young man whose eyes are a prettier grey than the roadster. How ' s that for a schoolmarm ? . djourn to Psychology Lab refreshments and game of animal The examinations having been successfully passed, the party journeyed to the psychology labora- tory, where they enjoyed oyster stew and coffee with or without sugar and cream ( As You Like It ). The game of Animal was then played, much to the amusement of all. The purpose of this game was to show the asker any animal he wished to see. When asked what he most desired to (be)hold, Mr. Bishop quite natu- rally replied: A beautiful girl. His loving smile and anticipation vanished when he was handed a mirror. Oh. heart-breaking disap- pointment ! ! Mr. La Motte. thinking to play a joke on the others, expressed his desire to see a nice, fat hog. His complaisance vanished like magic ; he, too, was shown the mirror. The best-looking man in Rome that is what Mr. Gaines wished to see. Perhaps he was wise at the game. Anyway, he didn ' t seem sur- prised when he saw in the mirror his own reflection. Mr. Cousins, after a few moments of calm and deliberate thought, tri- umphantly asked to behold the missing link. Ah, he had them guessing ! They wouldn ' t grant his request. But no! Nothing was im- possible to that crowd. They were capable even of producing the miss- ing link. Mr. Cousins, amazed and utterly crestfallen, found himself gazing stupidly in the mirror. THE AN AC H RON 1ST 195 NEWS FROM SURROUNDING VICINITIES Valentine Danceis. Misses McWilliams and Wey, who danced wonderfully. VALENTINE PARTY In ye olden days in Anglo Land, Saint Valentine spread forth his hand With love and joy the world to bless. So won ' t you help us honor pay To him upon his natal day In Valentine Land of Happiness? Sophomohe-Sexior. This was the invitation that called the Seniors to the prettiest party ever given at Shorter. The gym was beautifully decorated in pink crepe paper hearts and strings of hand- painted bluebirds. One side was arranged to represent a cabaret, and the program began with a song to the Seniors by Miss Carolyn Cart- wright. Next was a graceful dance by Misses Kathleen McWilliams and Helen Way, dressed in dainty pink tarlton dresses ; and then Misses Evelyn Wood and Carolyn Cart- wright sang Have a Heart. After the program the promenade began. Punch was served during the even- ing. At the close of the evening a delicious salad course, followed by an ice course, was served at the small tables, with their burning pink tapers. Each Sophomore presented her Senior with a box of bluebird correspondence cards. Everybody pronounced it the best time of the year. FLOOD FLOOR FLUTTERINGS This community wishes to seize this opportunity to publicly express our gratitude to Misses Jolly Cassels and HalHe Carr for their heroic work in saving our hoines from the disastrous flood on one Saturday night. We are petitioning the Stu- dent Council to present you both with a Carnegie medal for your bravery.

This mysterious disease is termed Reprobatitis, but what is the remedy? So far, it seems incurable, but non-contagious. Miss Gladys Carter is able to be out riding among her friends in Rome. Those acquainted with Miss Polly Massengill will be glad to know that she has gained sufficient strength and energy to ride down to Atlanta to hear Miss Alma Gluck render hei marvelous selections.

BUNGALOW BREEZES Mr. La Motte visited the Busy Bee Cafe last Sunday evening. Mr. Chiapusso was a delighted spectator of Charlie Chaplin in Be- hind the Screens last evening. Mr. Bishop has just returned from his usual visit to Phillipsville. He was chaperoned by Mr. Cousins. Among those attending the Pearl of the Army each Saturday at the Elite are Miss Burlingiin and Dr. Quisenberry. Will some of the readers of the Anachronist please be so kind as to drop us of Bungalow Row a hint as to why Mr. John Thomas thinks the moon is so much more beautiful and wonderful at Shorter than else- where ? Mr. La Motte gave his usual violin concert in the kitchen last Sunday evening. Mrs. Ross had as her guest last week Miss Edith Burlingim, of the Hill. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were recent- visitors to the MacDowell Choral Club. The friends of Mr. Ross regret to know that on account of recent ill- ness he was unable to attend the last episode of Gloria ' s Romance. The doctors think this is the cause of his relapse. o Polly (turning over in bed) : My heavens ! Vic: What ' s wrong? Polly : That wind — those darn windows — actually.

What would you suggest for me to use in order that my peace of mind will be restored? Thankfully, C. T. R. Dear little girl, don ' t worry — just go to Kress ' s, or any ordinary book store, and buy a ten-cent bottle of good, old-fashioned mucilage. This will serve your purpose, I ' m sure. Dear Venus : I have beautiful auburn hair, but am forced to wear switches. The girls have always thought it all real until the other day when it fell on the gym floor. Needless to say, I was embarrassed. Can you suggest any securer way to keep it on ? May Hall. False hair, my dear, has gone out of style. I should advise your leav- ing it off for good. Dear Venus : I want to grow old. I ' m only fifteen — isn ' t that pathetic? I try to wear grown-up clothes and my hair up, but some people insist that I ' m still young. Can ' t I ever get away from it? What shall I do? I ' ll never be happy, O darling Venus, until I grow old. Please help me. Forlorn Sara Elizabeth. Get you a grey wig. You ' ll find an eyebrow pencil very useful in mak- ing wrinkles — outline them carefully on your face and no one will be likely to notice. Wear the softer shades of grey and lavender, with touches of black. By using a little will power you can let your hands shake when you handle objects. Dear Venus ; You have helped me in so many ways — my appearance is very much improved since I began taking your Hints to Beauty — I wonder if you could give me something to make me tall? Haven ' t you some Anti- Short ? I have noticed it advertised a great deal. I seem to grow shorter and shorter every day. Pathetically, JUKEY. Sure you can grow taller. Just stand eight hours per day. The treatment will be more rapid if you stand upon a platform elevated about si.x feet. Dear Venus : Enclosed find one dollar ($1.00), for which please send me at once a bottle of your Get-Lashes-Quick. My lashes are so thin, and are fall- ing out rapidly. I want to grow some like my friend Helen . shford She lives on Bellcvue, this city. You remember, you sent her your for- mula. Pretty Eves. I mailed you the Get-Lashes- Quick. I ' m sure you will have lashes like your friend after a very few treatments. Dear Venus : Can ' t you give me something to make my voice softer? It is so harsh, and cracks between syl- lables. Lovingly, Helen Swanson. Wash your teeth with peroxide ten times each day. Dear Venus: I ' m so beautiful that all the boys are crazy about me. I try not to attract attention by dressing calmly and being as meek and humble as I can, but it is all in vain. What shall I do? Tragic Lucile Griffith. Now, that ' s too bad. I ' ve had the same experience many times, but you have done all you can do. Learn to treat them civilly — don ' t be too indifferent. Dear Venus : I ' m a little girl sixteen years old, and am pitifully thin — in fact, people have often made cutting remarks about my prominent bones. Could you tell me of something that would make me more attractive to my beau, as he does not like skinny girls? Hopefully, Mary C. It is the easiest matter in the world to grow fat — it just takes determination, and I ' m sure you have that — always rememlier your beau. I ' m sure you will follow my directions and become plumper and more beautiful. Our weakly serenade by Darlington Lads. THE AN AC H RON 1ST 197 S PO RTI NG PAGE SENIOR-SOPHOMORE VERSUS JUNIOR-FRESHMAN Great Excitement Prevailed From the outset the basket-ball game between the Junior-Freshman and Senior-Sophomore teams was a hotly contested one. The players were evenly matched, thus making the outcome of the game doubtful. When the whistle blew for the end of the first half the score was even, 13-13. During the second half some of the best and most sensational playing was done. Both sides had an admir- able system of teamwork and pass- ing. Casey Nichol and Beans Bel- lenger. the clever goal throwers for the Junior-Freshman, played with unusual swiftness and surety of aim. Coram and Shaw, the forwards on the other team, because of their superior height, excellent passing, and steadiness, also played a good game. The hard-fought game ended with the score 20-21 in favor of the Senior-Sophomore team. THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT Now for an enthusiastic, closely contested tennis tournament. Come n. Freshmen, don ' t be discouraged ; show these old hands that you, too, can shake a racquet. Stiffen your wrist, get a tight hold on your racquet, and go to it. Surprise the sharks with a demonstration of your skill. Brace up, ye old-timers ! Don ' t sit back on your past merits — you never can tell what will happen. Practice your curving serves and your swift, smashing returns. Don ' t be beaten by a novice. All who are in love get your racquets and master the art of tennis and thus learn to be skilled in love games. Come on, girls ! Work hard and win one of those good-looking white sweaters with a big yellow S. ALL-SHORTER BASKET-BALL TEAM CHOSEN Bright Prospects — Lots of Pep Miss Eva B. White is to be con- gratulated on her excellent judg- ment shown in the selection of the All-Shorter Basket-Ball Team. Every player is on the job and a bul- wark in her position. Under the able coaching of Miss White we are confident that this team will prove a glory to old Shorter and a terror to those who play against it. THE NIFTY-NINES LOSE TO SHORTER BULLDOGS Score 9 to 10 The students were given a rare treat in witnessing the exciting game between the two faculty teams, the Nifty-Nines and the Shorter Bulldogs. The game was a scream from start to finish. The Nifties and the Bulldogs Played at a game of ball : Began it late one evening Quite early in the fall. All the members of the team Were of international fame. And you could tell from the looks of them That it would be some game. Quisenberry, the great shortstop ; Cousins, the ex-big-leaguer star ; Arnett, the lightning runner ; And Thomas, the only Thomas, he was thar. Ross, All-American catcher, Receiving Miller ' s spit-ball curves. Catching anything that was fed him. And grating, grinding on Nifties ' nerves. Eva, Edith, Vivian, Velma, The great Nifty infield team — To watch them throw and hit the ball Was like hiking in a dream. The Bulldogs ' only feminine gender, M. Bush, holding down third base, .Advertising Coca-Cola And chewing gum with grace. Miller, the great left-hander. Standing in the pitcher ' s box. Facing the mighty Chiapusso, The great fuzzy-wuzzy ' ' fox. The ball just went a-sailing Toward f uzzy ' s thatch of hair ; Fuzzy gave a mighty lick And busted empty air. Now up comes the terrible Austrian Wearing the yellow pants. Says La Motte : What I ' ll do to the ball Will throw the ' Nifties ' in a trance. Bishop, the next-up Nifty, Blood tears rolling from his eye; Kerflop, kerflum, kerfoodle — Baseball sailing toward the sky. Now the Dean comes up a-growling : I ' m just from Bulldog Land; Been feeding on tender ' Nifties. ' Finishing them off with blood and sand. Strike one ! cries the ump. Son Harold.

BEST MATRIMONIAL BUREAU IN TOWN Miss Edith Burlingim 198 THE AN ACH RON 1ST THE AN ACH RON 1ST 199 OUR NEW FACULTY MEMBERS Xow that their first year at Shorter is coming to an end, our new faculty members are no doubt look- ing back over the year and wonder- ing if it has all been worth while. Yes. indeed, the students say they have accomphshed great things. But they have done more than teaching in the class room. They realize that themselves, and surely they have often wished for some method oi feeling the pulse of the student body to see just how they were taking with the girls. Well, now as we sit and look back on the year, our ver- dict is : You have made a hit. Listen to that grand baritone ! That surely must be Mr. Miller, our new voice teacher. His popularity is evidenced by the number of encores the students insist upon hav- ing. Just let it be known that Mr. Miller is going to sing, or play his violin, and you will get the crowd. That good-looking, that business- like man is Mr. John Thomas When he has to lead chapel he is appreciative of the fact that not all of us can understand highly classical music, so he kindly gives an explana- tion of them in good English. His only fault, as we see him, is that a cup of coffee at his table costs one pound of fifty-cent butter. There ' s a Reason. Drink Postum. As head of our new Department of Education you will find that learned Miss Latimer. Among her many arts is her art of stringing men. She is Frank about her candy and flowers, but not all are from her men admirers, for the students call her a big sport. The more you know of her the more you have to admit you like her. Even though the other new mem- bers of the faculty got a six months ' start on him, Mr. Quisenberry has landed a big catch, and she admires him to the extent of keeping account of the different kinds of ties he wears. Yes, she has recently become so fond of Rice that no others at her table ever get a chance at the dish. She has already announced her intention of spending this summer in Virginia — his native state. What more announcement is needed? However, he takes another to a serial picture every Saturday after- noon. Mrs. Boughton is unanimously de- clared one of the loveliest and sweet- est women yet. She is so gentle and considerate of all. Oh, yes, she ' s generous, too. Haven ' t you seen that cosy little sofa in her studio? It is the nicest place to receive youi gentleman friends, and Mrs. Boughton is indeed generous in let- ting her students use it. Little Mrs. Miller is good com- pany, for she is interesting to talk to. She is that admirable type of woman who tends to her own affairs, and does that well, too. She is a very sympathetic accompanist, and seems to be of great aid to her singer- husband. What shall we say about our friend Mr. La Motte? He has made so many impressions on this student body that he will long be remem- bered. If you are ever in need of a match, it will be worth your while to wait for the opportunity to ask Mr. La Motte for one. He will invari- ably run his hand in his pocket and pull out a biscuit. After every meal he goes back to his table and drops in a biscuit. That ' s all right if he does do that, Kid La Motte is smart. He not only knows all the modern languages on the market, but plays the fiddle ten hours some days. Oh, he is ambitious, and con- siderate, also, for when he practices he goes to the kitchen at the bunga- low and puts on the mute. We must not fail to mention his athletic qualities. Yes, he was the star on the Nifty-Nine team. Mr. and Mrs. Ross! If they knew all the good things we have said about them they — well, they would still be the same. The popularity of these people will be easily shown by Election Returns. She is our most attractive member of the faculty, while he is considered the biggest sport and the best-looking. .A.mong the much-sought-after members of our faculty comes Mrs. Williams. Twice each day she is especially in great demand, for how could we get our bills and advertise- ments without Mrs. Williams? She occasionally gives us a fat, juicy letter. We all love Miss Osborne, but Miss Osborne loves the forests. She wood love us more if she ever had a chance to know us, but some of her loveresses monopolize her entire time. Anyway, the Profes- sor is a good ole sport. Have you ever heard any one play like that Mr. Chiapusso? He ' s a marvel. We oftentimes wonder how a Southern college was able to get such an artist, for Mr. Chiapusso is Paderewski ' s equal, . nd he is lots of fun, too. He thinks America is causing him to become meager. We think it ' s because he is in love with some of these American girls. Now, friend faculty, if there is anything else you would like to know about yourself, just write to the editor of the Anachronist, in care of the asylum, Milledgeville, Ga., enclosing a self-addressed, stamped envelope, and such informa- tion will be cheerfully given.

Southern Railway Sy em THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM, starting from Washington, D. C, covers the entire South with eight thousand miles of standard track, reaching all principal points throughout this great section. Many miles of double-track standard road bed, automatic block signals, super-heated locomotives, and modem equipment are some of the factors which em- phasize the fact — The Southern Serves the South The service and schedules of the passenger trains furnish quick and convenient transportation between all important points. This great system of railway traverses plain, valley and mountain sec- tions, affording passengers many and varied beautiful scenic views, also carries them to many attractive mountainous and seashore resorts. A number of beautiful folders and booklets, descriptive of the Southern Railway System and resort points reached, are published for information of the public and may be obtained upon application to any passenger official or representative.

Sport hats, large hats, small hats — hats for women, young girls, and children The Millinery Salons are a perfect garden of them this morning. There is one group in particular which is interesting to the thrifty woman — many of the hats being of liseret straw of very uncommon quality. There are Sailors faced with cotton crepe. Mushroom shapes. Tricorne shapes ; lots of matronly small black hats, and little round hats with smart curly feathers, and spirited wings with lovely flyaway curves : besides plenty of black-and-white effects. $1.00 to $10.00 and thereabouts. There are Leghorns, and other large hats, crepe and flower trimmed ; smart all black-and-white effects ; and delightful affairs, very airy and summery, and trimmed with the piquant burnt ostrich, burnt peacock or goose feathers. Among Sport Hats for women and girls, are gay ones — rose, emerald, blue to match the sweaters, the rough straws, and severely tailored styles. Also, there are English Redleaf hats of Yeddah straws, rushes, togals, and so on. Sweet Dance Frocks for Sweet Sixteen New dresses that arrived but yesterday, fluffy nets, embroidered and dainty: some of flowered and figured taffetas in charming colors and combinations, and others of glistening silks in plain hues. Sleeves are very tiny — or minus : girdles are often quite wide, and the distinguishing touch of the whole gown ; waist lines are above and below their normal place. Boufl ant skirts, draped skirts, tier skirts — all these are included in the spring fashions. Soft greens, cream color, maize, watermelon pink, delicate blues — these are some of the colors — $22.50 to $50.00. And think of the worry, and time, and trouble you are saved by walking right into such dresses.
